Im sagging, and its not my pants

[lx4life]

I noticed that my driver's side is about 1/2 to 1" lower than the passenger, is that normal, I even replaced the shocks thinking they were bad but it still looks the same. The Driver rear is about 1" lower than the passenger the front is about 1/2", I am thinking about putting in coil boosters to help .

Check your torsion keys, they're off.

Should be easily solved with a torsion bar adjustment.

Contrary to what many people think, shocks do not change the ride height. Their job is to dampen and control bouncing in the suspension. They don't add payload capacity or give any lift or lower.

I just installed reindexed keys I should of known they were to easy to put in on the driver's side, they were very hard to install on the passenger side with a gear puller I think I am going to order a torsion bar key removal cause I had to remove my lower and upper control arm to install the passenger side,it wasnt to bad just a pain.
So you guys think that its indexed wrong, I knwo I do now cause Imaxed out the driver's adjustment bolt and the passenger side is only adjusted maybe 1" and the spacer inbettween the key and bar is crooked on the pass side.

So you guys think I should just remove the driver's side and turn the key down and reinstall, thats what I am going to do today or tomorrow. What about the passenger side(crooked spacer) can I leave it like that or should I go ahead and just fix that?

just play with it until you measure exactly the same height from the ground to you fender on both sides... make sure you're on perfectly leveled ground.
Just takes time, best way is to have two people on each side with a measuring tape and off you go...

Well the drivers side is maxed out and it is only 9" from the fender to the top of the tire, and I know that is not right. I can raise the pass probably 2 more inches since the bolt is not even turned in all the way but it is still higher than the driver's side even with the bolt fully maxed out, i think I installed/indexed the key wrong.

Hi sounds like its indexed wrong for sure on the drivers side. Also buy the tool you will be glad you did, it makes any job to do with the torsion bars easy. Here is a link to where i bought mine. Its made by tiger tool. Mine has been used alot and is still perfect. Also to add to what ROUSHDEMON said, lift the front bumper up a inch or so then remove your hands quickly and let it settle before you measure each time an adjustment is made to the torsion bar and check all the tire pressures and make them all the same.

You seem to know your stuff. Let me ask you a question about a sagging rear on a 2003 H2. Does not sag all the time. I rear is up hill does not seem to sag. Is there a sensor I am missing? Question 2. I had a check engine light come and stay on. Diagnosed a No. 6 cylinder. I replaced Plug, wire and coil yesterday. Light is still on. Does it eventually shut off?

Hi Ix4life, we ues alot of tiger tools at work also and their stuff stands up well. Hi Kebrom, codes most times will stay active untill the problem is fixed, if the problem is fixed the light will go out. It will still be stored in history codes. Some codes you need to clear with a code reader after the problem is fixed to turn the light out.
